Meetup, a free service, brings together like-minded strangers, letting them organize local gatherings. Since its launch in June, more than 6,900 have gotten together for poker games, and over 4,400 have gathered to discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But this is nothing compared with the nearly 200,000 Howard Dean supporters who have registered since last summer. They organized meetups in South Carolina, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Dakota, and New Mexico, not to mention California, Texas, and New York. Yeaaghhhhh!
